Global Family Doctor

WONCA is an unusual, yet convenient acronym comprising the first five initials of the World Organization of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians.

Professor Barbara Starfield championed the value and need of strong primary health care systems worldwide. This collection emphasizes the case for primary care and includes a number of Barbara Starfield's own articles as well as other key related material.

WONCA Global Jobs Board

WONCA CEO, Garth Manning, has written a letter to member organisations informing them of an exciting development of a new global jobs board on the WONCA website.

Dear colleagues,

WONCA Global Jobs Board
I write to share exciting news. WONCA has set up a Global Jobs Board on our website for all Member Organizations and their members to use – and it’s free of charge for a limited time. This provides the opportunity to advertise relevant job opportunities to a truly global audience in excess of half a million medical professionals. Visit the site here.

The site has just been launched and features listings from a number of prominent employment agencies, medical centres and practitioners seeking family doctors and support staff. It also features a live jobs feed from the British Medical Journal.

We are keen to offer you the opportunity to advertise all relevant vacancies you may have with us at no harge until April 30, 2017. In order to take advantage of this offer simply use the code globaljobsfree1 when moving through to the payment page, when placing an employment advert.

You can view our tutorial here or visit the FAQ tab. For further information on placing these adverts or if you have any questions please contact Megan Voo at jobs@woncarecruitment.com.

We have developed this site in response to feedback from our members, and are very excited about this new dimension to the service we provide. The driving force behind this strategy has been to serve our members even better; they will now be able to access this information on at a website already known and trusted by them, as a reliable source relating to global family medicine. We believe that this method of advertising job opportunities represents great value and will be highly effective in producing results for all stakeholders.

We hope that you and your members will take full advantage of this opportunity and join us to make this new service to the WONCA community a huge success.
